 (Original Key: )
 Got a wife,  got a family,
 Earn my livin'  with my hand.
 I'm a roller,  in a steel  mill,
 In down-town  Birming-ham.
 My daddy,  was a barber,
 And a most  un-sightly  man.
 He was born  in In Tusca-loosa,
 But he died  right here  in Birming-ham.
 Birmingham, Birmingham,
 The greatest city  in Ala-bam'.
 You can travel  'cross this en-tire land,
 But there ain't no  place like Birming-ham.
 Wife's named Mary, but she's called Marie,
 We live in a three room house with a  pepper tree.
 I work  all day  in the factory;
 That's al-right  with me.
 Got a big black dog,  whose name is Dan,
 Lives in my backyard,  in Birmingham.
 He's the meanest dog  in Alabam';
 Get 'em Dan!
 Birmingham, Birmingham,
 The greatest city  in Ala-bam'.
 You can travel  'cross this en-tire land,
 But there ain't no  place like Birming-ham.
